Re: _stat function and files before 1970

_stat uses time which states in the documentation:
The time function returns the number of seconds elapsed since midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970

As far as C is concerned, time (== time_t) started on 1st January 1970[^] - your file with an earlier timestamp is obviously blowing the C runtime's mind. It's like saying to a physicist "here's a file from 10 minutes before the universe existed" - does not compute!

I have to ask one question - are file date-times before 1970 actually meaningful? They obviously aren't proper create/modification dates, so why do you need to manipulate them?

With creation and/or modification dates prior to 1970? Really.

OK - what do you need from the _stat function? You should be able to use Win32 functions to determine the values of file attributes that _stat gives you.

By reading your description, it seems your design is a bit wrong. In general, you shouldn't let other classses manipulate the controls on your dialog.
What are you trying to achieve at a higher level ? Why does your class need to add a progress bar on your dialog directly ?

I am getting back to VC++ after a long time. I am using VS 2008 SP1. It is a simple application a button, an editbox (plain) and a richedit box. When i added a control variable (CString) to richeditbox2, a message pops up that i must call this function. The messagebox now does not show again. when i run the program, i get no errors but the dialog fails to load.

I get the following in output window.

Binary was not built with debug information.<br />

Any info will be appreciated.

Are you calling AfxInitRichEdit2[^] in your application? Not calling that can have the effect you're seeing...

Yes I tried that after finding some help online but it did not work. Still the same problem. I am using AfxInitRichEdit2() inside the OnInitiDialog as first line. I may need to recompile everything. I also tried linking to RichEdit20.dll ( in project setting) but did not work.

I am using Windows Vista SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1. Could it be that the dll is missing. I tried searching for the dll but could not find it.

Put AfxInitRichEdit2(); in InitInstance function.

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

How to run Windows Applications without login

Jun Du21-Jul-09 11:16

21-Jul-09 11:16

I have a server app (regular EXE, not service) that supports both ATL and MFC, and it uses Windows messaging as IPC (to exchange data with other applications on the same machine). We run it after an automatic login. So far so good.

Now I've got a new customer that requires that the server be able to run without automatic login. I know we can change the app to a service, replace messaging to other IPC, and bla bla... But, I am looking for some simple solution that minimizes the effort. BTW, the code is from a previous contractor and is not very straightforward.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Best,
Jun

If you want an application to run without a user being logged in, you need to run it as a service. The previous reply mentions a tool that m,ay assist you in this endeavor.

If it needs to run without a user being logged in, and you have the source code, my advice is to convert it to an actual service.

Search for XYNTService here in CP... it can make any application to start as a service...

Also you can create a service that launch your application.

The best option is to transform the application into a service...

Good luck. Rose | [Rose]

look for a file with .sln (solution) extension or a file .vcproj (project) extension.

A Solution may contain a number of projects but a project file contains only one project. Usually there are one project per solution though.
